When you think of Southwest Florida…. think of our pristine beaches!
From Marco Island to Sanibel, Southwest Florida offers easy access to the glistening Gulf of Mexico. Our world-class beaches offer something for everyone: beach combing, shelling, fitness walking, sailboarding, fishing….or just relaxing in the warm sun and gentle gulf breezes. And don’t forget the magical sunsets over the Gulf. No two are ever alike!
As you explore the Gulf beaches, you may want to begin with these favorites, located in the greater Naples area:
Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Recreation Area: Located near Naples Park, at the end of Immokalee Rd. As visitors drive into the park, they notice a sign saying, “Welcome to the Real Florida.” Natural vegetation, a mangrove forest, and abundant wildlife border the beach area. Endangered sea turtles regularly nest on the beach at Delnor-Wiggins. You will enjoy shelling, shaded picnic areas, and abundant parking areas. With over a mile of sandy beach, those who wish to “get away from it all” will discover solitude and natural beauty at Delnor-Wiggins.
Clam Pass Beach: Clam Pass is part of the Collier County Park system and is nestled at the end of Pine Ridge Rd./Seagate Dr. Visitors to Clam Pass may hike the ½ mile boardwalk from the parking area to the beach, or if you prefer, take the free tram to the beach. Either way, you will have a great view of dense mangrove forest. Once at the beach, the glistening white sand against the blue Gulf waters will captivate you. No wonder Clam Pass Beach has been ranked as one of the top 20 beaches in the United States!
Naples Pier: “The Pier” has been a City of Naples landmark since 1888. Today, it is a destination for visitors who enjoy the short stroll out the Pier for unique views up and down the Gulf Shore. You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of frolicking dolphins, or celebrate a memorable catch with a local fisherman. The Pier is a well-known spot from which to enjoy a breathtaking sunset - add it to your list one evening before dinner at your favorite Naples restaurant! Broad beaches extend north and south of the Pier; these beaches are a popular destination for fireworks on the 4th of July and New Year’s Eve.
These are just a starting point for your own Southwest Florida beach adventures. I know you will discover your own favorites!
